Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of Quadro K4100M specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The Quadro K4100M scores 2,773 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the Kepler (2012−2018) architecture (codename: GK104), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 1152 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 96 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 1.627 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
